In my experience, having kids has had the dual benefits of making my days purposeful and fulfilling, and also more appreciative of idle time. The mind does not do well with the extremes of unlimited idleness or unlimited work. Turns out the rhythm of child-raising can fit the perfect middle ground between work and idleness, and has the advantage of creating a more meaningful cumulative product than either realm. That balance of time is especially true if you're financially independent or have family willing to help during the first year or two of a new baby.
The new Vogtle reactor in Georgia (the US state) cost about $17B. A single offshore oil platform can cost upwards of $1B and we build hundreds of these.

When weighed against the potential payoff fusion is very underfunded. If we make it work we basically have infinite clean energy until the heat death of the universe, not to mention a source of energy that could jet us around the solar system and beyond at speeds far beyond what anything we currently have can achieve.

The cost of ITER is not crazy for the energy industry in general. Huge energy projects are very expensive. We spend multiples of that on oil drilling every year.

Hey HAMs: You thought the noise floor was bad now, wait a few years when huge RFI vehicles are roaming all over the place.
Simple: motor inverters are switching power in this frequency range.

It’s already below FCC limits for unintended radiation - it’s not going to block AM activity far from the vehicle, but putting the antenna in the midst of all that radiated noise is challenging.
This is why I laugh when people say Landlords are just business people. No, they're people who own more private property than they need so they can make money off doing nothing from someone else's need for shelter. They're willing to fight for the law to make shelter situations worse or nonexistence so they can charge more money. If everyone had a home, there wouldn't be a housing market, so naturally anyone involved in that ecosystem prefers there to be a shortage. They're the only market actor that expects no loses and fights for zero risk. That's not business, that's authoritarianism.
This is the dumbest goddamned bill to ever exist and it dismays me to see everyone cheering on the iHeartmedia and Audacy bribery.

The cover story is that these stations are needed in cases of emergency. If that was actually what was going on congress would allocate funding to distribute portable AM radios to citizens-- radios that can be used when your car is destroyed or inaccessible like it will be in a hurricane, flood, or blizzard. If you even have a car.

I think the counter-argument would go - there are all sorts of unintuitive mathematical rules. What if it just seems like there is something ineffable about experiencing life but its just an illusion?

Mind you, i dont think either side of the debate has much in way of evidence, so it ends up coming down to just what feels "right" which is pretty unsatisfactory.
You could have spent 5 minutes looking it up, rather than speculating.
Depends where in Europe. I'd say in Northern Europe, especially in Scandinavia wood is more frequently used when building homes.

In other places the roof structure is often made of wood. And although technically it's not part of the building, concrete forms used for foundation/walls are mostly made of OSB/plywood.

Would we?

We don't dump our crops in bogs, nor bones of cattle. In fact we plough the crop remains into the dirt for the health of the soil, and we grind up the bones of food animals for feed and other uses.

All of our buildings and works would disappear pretty fast, and a simple ice age scours the earth very effectively.

13k years is maybe not enough without an ice age, but in 50k years? No trace, except they'd think a meteor struck and caused a mass extinction event.

(I'm not even sure our last 200 years, where we really expanded, would even be a blip in fossil records)

Congrats! Looks refreshing! I'm currently (or just recently started) with Craft and your app looks like all the things I need without all the additional stuff Craft has.

The interesting piece is how, within about a half-decade, Amazon went from having a reputation as trusted, reputable vendor to a a brand as a sketchy marketplace full of fakes and counterfeits.

Coding, or any other skill for that matter, is no different.

Back in the early days of computing people wrote software by working it out on paper, encoding it on to punch cards, and then giving that program (deck of cards) to an operator who loaded them and ran the code. If it didn't work properly you would get back a print out of the 'debug' which amounted to a memory dump. You'd then patch your punch cards based on working out where you'd screwed up, and try again.

That was the computer software industry for about a decade before time-sharing, VDUs, etc.

People absolutely did learn to code by reading books and nothing much else. Access to computers was so restricted (because time to use a computer was shared between lots of people) there weren't any other options.

Heck, I learned a lot of early web stuff like TCP, HTML, etc reading books at my parents house when I was at home from uni and didn't have my computer with me, and that was the late 90s. Of course you can learn coding by studying the theory without practicing. It's just a lot less fun.

The current situation here (France) is:

- ALMOST all highways with a fast charger every $reasonable_amount_of_km

- very few accept direct payments BUT with terrible UIs (like you know how much you paid but not how much energy you have charged (yes, really, many visualize the amount paid after energy counters get zeroed/disappeared from the display)

- many do demand crapplications that are a pain to use, buggy as hell, sometimes in places where the phone get no network, and of course no local AP to use the sole charging app locally, many allow charging, then the sole way to stop is stop from the car side and so on

In Italy is even worse, first because of the prices, then because of the scarcity of charging points, thirdly because many apps are not meant to be "international", i.e. I'm Italian, but I live in France, so I have french residence and payments cards etc, well, I keep getting errors, because if I'm Italian then I must offer an Italian bank card, an Italian ID and address and so on, otherwise I need to be French...

At least in terms of uptime they tend to works well in both countries all the time. But do not try to go southern or eastern in the EU, there you get almost no chargers at all. Also DO count outside highways all roaming tariffs, take a look at https://chargemap.com/map to understand. With certain roaming combination you might end up paying 10kWh like 20€ instead of 2€.

This is the proof we need PUBLIC infra, not private one. The public have the money and the interest to be everywhere (not only where they earn more) and be standard, open to anyone offering a good service. The private sector is good to pick innovation and find ways to spread it, but to really spread it it's the public that must step in.
But he still has $100 million left.
> Imagine the cumulative total of the money compounded!

I mean, this is a crazy line of thinking. Without fossil fuels, what's considered valuable would still be "work life balance is slightly less time manually working on the farm" and "goods are the best stuff we can buy from people crafting the stuff within a 3 mile radius" and "education is what we can learn from the smartest person in the village".

If you want now but without fossil fuels, you have to use fossil fuels hard enough to invent the thing that replaces them.
I've read, as a general rule, 2x what you'd be earning if you were in a salary position is a good place to start. You can then factor in reputation, demand, etc, and increase or decrease from there.

If it's extremely technical, I've seen 3x as a starting point and somewhere between 4x-5x in strategic positions at C-suite or similar level.

take it with a grain of salt as these are just baseline values. Everyone is going to greatly differ based on location, industry, level of expertise, $$ of value that it may impact. good luck!
I'm always a little jealous that there still exists an active, continuously practised Indo-European religion in Iran, even if a minor one. They have something that Europeans and their diaspora have lost.
Carbohydrates are not necessary for survival, but there are circumstances when they are necessary, for instance when a very intense effort is required to be sustained for a long time it is impossible to achieve a maximum performance without eating carbohydrates, because they can be absorbed and used for energy production faster than the alternatives.

Moreover, there is not enough data to decide whether a diet lacking almost completely carbohydrates results in optimal health in the long term, even if it may have favorable effects when replacing a worse previous diet.

Carbohydrates are also the cheapest kind of food. While eating them in excess is bad, obtaining less than 50% of the energy intake from carbohydrates still results in a much lower cost of the food than replacing all of them with expensive fats and proteins.

For diabetes prevention, it is likely that it is more important to avoid sugar than it is to avoid starch, because in many traditional societies where starch was a big fraction of their food, diabetes was nevertheless uncommon.

You must have never lived outside of a city if that is your perception of buildings. Most of the buildings I have seen in the European countryside are made with a significant amount of wood. Even brick and stone buildings will often have a timber structure. Most buildings are not in cities, in general.

Scandanaivans use a particularly large amount of wood, even in their city centers and even for skyscrapers.
Social media can't hold a candle to the sensitive data of dating apps. Who you are interested in, true/recent photos, phone number, sexuality, and then there is all the chat data. Dating apps harvest more accurate data than mere social media.

Cures are nice, but the money is in chronic conditions.
Weird conclusion to draw in the absence of information but ok.

I was selling TVs and lawn mowers at Sears. I had a base hourly rate then received commission for the items I sold. These were called commissions because they were an incentive created by the company, not the customer. I received very few (but not zero, think “carried item to the customer’s car”) tips from customers, which are not commissions because they are customer driven incentives.

Tips: optional and set by the customer. Typically unknown until after the interaction.

Commission: pre-defined incentive for performing a specific action. Set by the company.

Wages: pre-defined, but not a function of any specific action.

By definition you can’t make tips part of wages. You can tell customers not to tip, increase prices, and pay employees commission, but that’s also not a tip. Or you can tell customers not to tip, increase prices, and increase wages but that’s also not a tip.
Economics ignore anything that's uncountable like life enjoyment or community ties. People who have lived somewhere long enough for prices to have spiralled out of control likely score high on those measures. Kicking people out of a life and community they not only enjoy, but probably even define them, is in my opinion barbaric.
less than ten seconds of research:

But a car engine isn't "just" a car engine.

Yes, I got way too excited and comment trigger happy. It does not appear to browse the web and was just hallucinating. The hallucinations were surprisingly convincing for a couple of the pages I tested. But on examining the network requests, no fetches were made to the pages.

I think intention matters less than impact. Being a browser vendor should come with a legal obligation to support other browsers just was carefully as your own on all of your company’s websites. We’d never tolerate it if, say, Verizon stopped connecting calls to T-Mobile customers and just went “ooops, totally missed that, our bad” when people complained.

Part of why I think that needs to be a legal requirement is to prevent debates about whether management knowingly sabotaged a competitor – proving intent is much harder than simply showing negative outcomes for users – but the other is to keep web standards meaningful in a world where Google has successfully pushed most people to use Chrome: if a regulation required cross-browser testing and use of W3C standards (i.e. if Firefox implements the standards and reCAPTCHA fails, Google has 7 days to fix it or shut the service down until they can), they can’t push key functionality into Chrome-only APIs.
It's not: so far, at least in EU/the parts of the EU I live most, there are not that much BEVs and there are a sufficient number of chargers on highways, locations with 10 to 20+ 150-300kWp chargers are fairly common and only few of them are normally occupied. BUT if BEV spread such charging stations will be not enough, so you'll get many that try to reserve a charge via app/seen the current "crowded" state and decide to go to the next charger. Consider that any car tend to charge at least 10', mostly 15'. Ok, it's not that much, but if you have to wait just a car, let's say it's not the worst case all of the time, but still means a total 20' stop. Something ok if you are on vacation but not if you doing a long work trip and BEVs tend to be interesting economically if you run a bit long the year.

Pdf isnt too bad, it has javascript but generally is sandboxed so you cant do anything bad with it.

SVG is basically the same as html, and you can do standard XSS stuff.

Hosting on separate domain (not just subdomain but actual separate domain) is a must if you allow formats like svg, and a good idea generally.

Some banks offer virtual cards directly, but there's also Privacy (.com). For masked email I find Firefox Relay works pretty well.

I like Privacy because they let me switch banks easily, as well as place spending limits, pause or close cards, etc., just like Firefox Relay would allow me to switch emails easily.

I believe I use Firefox Relay for everything email-related now (I pay $1/mo for my own subdomain), and also use Privacy for everything money-related (given they accept Privacy cards).

https://emkei.cz is a good "fake mailer" for getting outbound email from a Firefox Relay address, for those companies that want you to send them an email from the address on your account. Basically you send something from the company's email to your relay address, then reply to it and Firefox Relay will send it to the real company's email, but from your relay address.

(You know, this sounds like it could make for a great phishing exploit because Firefox Relay doesn't check or notify you if SPF/DKIM/DMARC fails on an incoming email, and the forward that it does to your personal email will be entirely lacking those indicators. So aside from email content itself looking suspicious, it could be possible to perfectly spoof a real email because the relay step strips all the original authenticating information.)
This is not even a hypothetical. CGI is right there.
How much is this really grassroots with what the people living in the area want, versus Western environmental groups empowering and giving a platform to a voice they agree with.

Recall the hierarchy of needs. Most people in developing countries really care more jobs and development more than in preserving nature or tradition (see for example the path that happened in the US and Europe where environmentalism really didn’t take off until the a certain level of development).

Same thing with endangered species. I bet most poor farmers in areas with lots of elephants, hate the elephants that can destroy their crops and easily kill more maim them. However, largely Western environmental groups apply tremendous pressure to protect the elephants, and elevate and give a platform to those who agree with them, whether or not they actually represent the majority view of the people actually living there.

the supply of "new dwellings" privately constructed , is less than other places with

from what i have seen, this is not the case because other places do not provide enough incentive to build new homes. vienna is growing faster than some other cities. it's not easy to find good numbers. maybe this helps: in 2021 in all of germany about 260000 new apartments were built. that's one apartment per 323 inhabitants. in vienna in 2015 11500 apartments received building approval. that is 1 apartment per 165 inhabitants. of these only one third were built with government support. while in the same year 100million euro of government support remain unused. but apparently, since 2020 it is not allowed to have more than 1/3rd of any new building project without government subsidies and rent control. unlike germany subsidies continue for the lifetime of the building and so they can't be used for speculation and thus ensure a steady supply of affordable housing.

because of viennas growth i suspected that vacancy rates should be low. what i found is that from 900000 apartments in 2015 35000 were empty. that's 3.8%. this is from a statistic made by the city. others claim estimates from 80000 or even 100000. in 2017 9000 out of 2009000 city owned apartments were empty (4.3%). most of those empty places are available on the market.

i could not find anything good on financing. apparently most of the money comes from rent-income, so it seems to be mostly self-financing, although critics claim that the city also does not spend enough on maintenance. the city can also save money because they already own the properties they build on.

so it looks to me like a successful non-profit operation.
